Result of examination:
Speoiasne Ql and Q2 «ere searched through the
appropriate eectiona of the Anonynoue Letter File vitbout
effecting an identification.
It vaa concluded epecinena Ql and Q2 were prepared
on a typewriter equipped with Royal pica type spaced ten letters
to the inch.
Specimen Ql is a white envelope which has a
novelty finish such as might be found on social correapondence
or greeting type envelopes. This specimen msaBurea approximately
6.26 X 4.30 inches and bears no watermark. Specimen Q2 la
a sheet of white bond paper which measures approximately
8.5 X 14.0 Inches and bears no kratermark. Paper of this siae
is usually termed legal slxs paper.
, It has not been determined whether the typewriting
■ done on specimens Ql and Q2 was done by a trained typist or
untrained typist. However, the apparent lack of erasures
Collohon and tbe neatness of the typing would suggest the possibility
— the typist may have had some training.

contrary to the usual typing practice. It la aleo observed
that each of the letters submitted herewith maif reference

It Is requested that the laboratory attempt to
Identify toe kind of typewriter used In writing the letter
dated 10/6/60. Cotqparlson should be wde between this
typewriting and that of toe previously stttoltted letter.
Oie submitted Items should be examined for any Identifying

Re Los Angeles teletypes and airtel to Bureau
dated 10 / 11 / 60 .
M Victim's secretary, ^ 1 has
V made available two additional letters which had been received
^ prior to the one previously submitted with referenced airtel.
These were derogatory In nature but carry no specific
threats.
.uj Enclosed herewith are the original and case "6*^0
photostats oqnr of each of the following described documents:
v' Whi^® envelope, 3| by 6i Inches, bearing four
^ ” cent Lincoln stamp, postmarked 5:00 p.m.,
10/6/60, Los Angeles, Calif., addressed by
typewriter to STEVE ALLEN, 15^4 Ventura Blvd.,
Sherman Oaks, Calif., with the return address
of 1027 W. 6th Street, Los Angeles 23, Calif.
^ . /J 2. Two page typewritten letter on plalnc white
y/C '/ ' ' paper, 8^ by 10 3/4 Inches, first page of
^ which Is dated Thursday. 10/6/60, beginning
-j "After witnessing and ending on the /
/ second page “ . . . Unslncerely (You Communist
— f Pig)", bearing typewritten slgnatvire of MARION
Bureau (Enc.-10)(RM) ftFC- 43 %
2 - New York , g -
f 1 - Los Angeles
b7C
G. LEECH, 1027 W. 6th Street, Los AngeDm 23,
Calif.
3. Plain white envelope, 3a by 6| Inches, bearing
4 cent Lincoln stamp, pastmarked 9:00 p.m.,
10/7/60, Los Angeles, Calif., addressed tn
red Ink, hand printed, to Mr. STEVE ALLEN,
15445 Ventura ELvd., Sheman Oaks, Calif.
4. Hand printed letter in red Ink, written on
85 by 11 Inches lined notebook paper having
3 holes. ®iis letter Is dated 10/7/60. and
begins "Go home Communist traitor'.....", and
endingg" . . . .Go home Communist traltorl"
Th is letter bears the handwritten signature
b 'C of I I 1218 N. Marvin Drive, Los
Angeles.
It Is believed possible these letters have a
connection with the letter previously submitted on IO/II/60,
noting that the first typewritten letter above, contains
use of "etcetera" spelled "ect" which also appears In the
letter previously submitted. The characteristic is also
noted that the writer makes only one space between sentences,
contrary to the usual typing practice. It Is also observed
that each of the letters submitted herewith make reference
to "Butcher Boy" although one Is typewritten and one hand
printed.
It is requested that the Laboratory attempt to
Identify the kind of typewriter used In writing the letter
dated IO/6/60. Comparison should be made between this
typewriting and that of the previously snltoltted letter.
The submitted Items should be examined for any Identifying
water marks. These Items should also be examined for latent
fingerprints, bearing in mind that they were previously
handled by the personnel of STEVE ALLEN' s office, who are
mentioned In referenced alrtel and whose fingerprint- cards
were submitted for elimination purposes.
LA 9- New
A naiT»a ggarv^h should be made for MARION G. LEECH
and l I to determine If these persona have i*
previously written any threatening letters to any other
persons. .
New York Office Is requested to contact STEVE ’
ALLEN at his available address In New York City to determine
If either of these names have any significance to him.
The Items previously submitted with referenced
alrtel, along with the Items submitted herewith, should be
returned to Los Angeles upon conclusion of examination.
The Items submit ted here with bear the Identifying initials

clssed with the sentence ^and devil take the hlndiost,"
Jadvised she was the only person who

The FBI Laboratory is requested to examine the
envelope and letter for any latent fingerprints of value.
It is to be noted latent prints for identification purposes
have been developed on specimens previously submitted. It
is further requested that all these latent prints be
compared with each other in an effort to determine if any of
them belong to the same individual.

purposes.
There are niihml tted herewith fi ngerprint cards on

above fingerprint cards for future reference.
The FBI Laboratory is also requested to compare the
typing on the aforementioned letter with the extortion letter
in an effort to determine if it was prepared on the typewriter

I Personal Secretary to STEVE
ALLEN, television personality and actor, advised
10/11/60, that during recent months ALI£N had received
many letters of criticism concerning ALLEN' a stand on
both the death penality and the ban on nuclear testing.
She said many of these letters were very abusive and
accused ALLEN of being a Conmnxnist. Some of these
letters were signed, while others were not. On
10/11/60, ALLEN received a one-page typewritten letter
postmarked IO/IO/6O, at Los Angeles. This letter com-
mences: "My name is HARRY GOREN. I live at 1802
Redondo Boulevard, Los Angeles." In this letter, ttie
author says he has only a short time to live, so he
looked around to see what he could do before be died
which would benefit society. He said he found he
could exterminate some of the fifth column filth and
out of a blue sky comes the name ALLEN. The writer
then says, "That is why I write to you, Mr. Coimmanlst
ALLEN. .. .call it a Joke if you wish. ...but let me tell
you this; i have nothing to lose by taking my revolver,
going down to your home and.... to your office. .. .and,
on the whim, firing two or three bullets into the head
of the biggest liar, cheat, humbug and Communist in
this country...." The writer continues, "This is not
a request, but a demand, that you abolish your Commie
activities within the next FOUR DAYS. Repeat: FOUR
DAYS. If you do not, you are going to be dead within

the next three weeks." Other letters containing
similar abusive language have since been received by
ALLEN. OOREN, as well as other persons whose names
appear on these letters, have been Interviewed, where
It was possible to identify them, and they all deny
writing above referred to letter. AUSA, Los Angeles,
advised GOREN letter. In his opinion, constitutes
violation of Federal Extortion Statute, and he will
consider prosecution If Identity of subject can be
established.
